A numerical and statistical look at veteran forward Mark Mancari’s return to the Rochester Americans during the 2012-13 American Hockey League season.

Mancari Makes His MarkThe return to Rochester was quite the homecoming for Mancari, who had another successful season as an Amerk since originally joining the organization as a rookie for the 2005-06 campaign. The eight-year pro led the Amerks in all offensive categories, including goals (22), assists (39) and points (61) and ended the season ranked 11th in scoring among the AHL’s top point-getters. Mancari also finished tied for ninth in assists, which included the 10th-most on the power-play with 18.

Keeping The Streak AliveMancari was the only Amerk this season to net 20 goals on the way to posting his seventh straight 20-goal season over his eight-year professional career. In doing so, Mancari continued Rochester’s 57-year tradition of having at least one player from each season since the team’s inception in 1956 to score 20 or more goals, a streak that was sparked by Bronco Horvath’s team-leading 37 tallies during the Amerks’ inaugural 1956-57 campaign.
